Parr/Badger III, 84. – Erste Ausgabe. – „In 1969, a group of libertarian activists, including William Levy, Heathcote Williams, Germaine Greer, Willem de Ridder, Susan Janssen and Lynne Tillman, foundet ‚Suck‘, self-described ‚first European sex newspaper‘, in Amsterdam. The Virgin Sperm Dancer by William Levy, is a special book issue of ‚Suck‘. … The pornographic photography itself is timeless, that is to say standard and a little boring, but the factor that makes this a classic of 1970s’ counterculture literature and the legacy of 60s’ ‚flower power‘ – where sexual liberation was seen as the beginning of political liberation – is the inspired graphic design of Anthon Beeke. Exuberant, wacky and excessive, Beeke’s design was absolutely of its time, the kind of psychedelically inspired praphics seen right across pop and youth culture during this period“ (Parr/Badger). – „Joop the hero, becomes Joopie, going from male to female before returning to his original state. Experimenting with the most diverse erotic adventures, all shown in minute detail, he/she discovers that complete sexual satisfaction can only be achieved by fully recognizing the sexual ambivalence that is present in every individual. … ‚The Virgin Sperm Dancer‘ is set in places that belong to the hippie tradition: the city’s Vondel Parc, or the Fantasio and the Paradiso, cultural centers subsidized by the government“ (A. Bertolotti). – Umschlag gering berieben, gutes Exemplar.
